The Knights of Labor are not Anar
chists and do not sympathize will
Anarchy. That was a good record tc
make.-[Chicago Herald, Rep.
Foraker has reason to hate tho
South. That interesting and much
abused region hasn't furnished him
with single "outrage" this season to
load his gun withal for the Ohio cam
paign.-[Chicago Herald, Ind.
The Anarchists are to die, not fol
exercising the right Of free speech
and not alone for melting to murder
and for conspiring to murder-which
would be enough to hang them--but
for actual completely in murders com
mitted. 1t is time these facts we're
understood.-[New Y York Tribune, Rep.
Trade throughout the country while
not quite 80 brisk as at the beg ming
Of the month, still shows o satisfac-
tory degree Of activity. At the North
west and Southwest, especially, the
volume of merchandise going into dis
tribution is large, and, what is not
less important, collections are report
edcommendahly prompt. York

The Republicans have for some time
been poking fun at the Democrats be-
cause they were not united on the
tariff question. In view OF the radical
divergcncies on the same issue which
are developing between Eastern and
Western Republicans, it looks as
though the difficulty OF presenting ga
solid front" was fast becoming equally
great in their own case.-[New York
Post, Ind.
The long-headed leaders of the Re-
publicaA party, while they are friend
ly to Blaine, foresee that his nomina-
ton would mean inevitable defeat. 1t
is a game of party expediency against
personal choice. Blaine's immediate
followers say that the great popular
leader must be vindicated by another
nomination. The men who are for
the party first and Blaine afterward
assert that the party cannot survive
another defeat, and that the conditions
of the public mind are no more favor
able to Blaine now than they were
three years ago.-[St. Louis Republi-
can, Dem.
As between the little wizard OF Wall
street and Government ownership,
then the people cannot hesitate. If
We are in a corner and must choose
either monopoly, which We know to
be grasping and inefficient, and Gov
ernment ownership, which we have
reason to believe will give us uniform
rates, why, We are forced to say, let
the Government build an independ-
ant telegraph line, and let the peo-
pie have the benefit of efficiency and
cheap service.-[New York Herald.
The readers of some country news
papers will probably be edited in q
few days by a grossly indecent assault
upon the President and his wife,
which has been concocted by brace
Of pension claim agents at Washing
ton. This enterprising firm has had
a column Of billingsgate put in type,
and are now engaged in sending proof
slips of this stuff to Northern
newspapers, offering it and sim
liar rot to such papers as will
print it as special Washington
correspondence. All that is asked
by way Of compensation is the inser-
ton Of n paragraph recommending
the readers of the paper to negotiate
for their pensions through this partic-
ular firm. Both OF it's members are
Southern politicians. One used to be
a Democratic Congressman from
Mississippi, the other halls from
Tennessee, claims to be a Republican,
and was at one time at the head Of a
bureau in one Of the departments at
Washington. The little game in
which they are now engaged affords a
good illustration of the manner in
which public sentiment against the
Presidents pension vetoes is manu-
factured in some quarters. Phila-
delphia Telegram, Ind. Rep.
